<P>SQLBits is a UK based conference that occurs twice a year and I can't wait to attend one personally from the stories that I have heard.&nbsp; They record the sessions and make each one available for FREE access - AMAZING!&nbsp; You can find this session at the following URL: <A href="http://sqlbits.com/Sessions/Event7/Consolidating_data_collection_with_SQLDIAG_and_analysing_it_all_with_SQLNexus">http://sqlbits.com/Sessions/Event7/Consolidating_data_collection_with_SQLDIAG_and_analysing_it_all_with_SQLNexus</A>.&nbsp; The imbedded video has both a video of the speaker speaking to the audience as well as a full screen capture of the presentation to make the replay even more vivid.</P>
<P>Christian walks through the basics of using SQLDIAG for Data Collection initially.&nbsp; He then turns his attention to SQLNEXUS as a tool to analyze the data collected in SQLDIAG.&nbsp; He goes through how to configure SQLDIAG to collect the necessary data (perfmon and SQLTrace data) with the SQLDIAG process in order to discover the items needed for further analysis.&nbsp; If you need to perform a relatively quick analysis of&nbsp;a server, check this video out to discover your "pain points" for a particualr server.</P>
<P>After viewing this webcast, I am positive that you will find that using SQLDIAG along with SQLNEXUS will make your job easier.</P>
